The problem is when people start leaving then it will just snowball. Facebook can't afford to lose even 1% of their users.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/515e63deecad047943000014johnrussellFri, 05 Apr 2013 01:40:46 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/515e63deecad047943000014

"How long will users tolerate it" you act like gas prices have jumped up to 20 dollars a gallon and the people are going to riot in the streets. It's a free service that you don't have to use. What are you going to do say to your friends and family "hey everyone, I need you all to create a profile on Google+?"
Yes people will find other "social" networks to become involved in like the Pinterests, Instagrams and Paths of the world but the one thing that will remain constant will be their authentic FB profile. Especially since its how so many people now authenticate to login to sites all across the web.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/515dd93469beddd53100000bpepe luchoThu, 04 Apr 2013 15:49:08 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/515dd93469beddd53100000b
it's 2013 and you've never heard of adblocker ?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/515dd8a169bedd9c2e000009FBThu, 04 Apr 2013 15:46:41 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/515dd8a169bedd9c2e000009
Facebook died the day it went public.
Loser company is loser.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/515dd60b6bb3f7913400000dYes butThu, 04 Apr 2013 15:35:39 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/515dd60b6bb3f7913400000d
That's exactly what people *will* do. The fact that the service costs money to run is irrelevant to consumers who have hundreds of different online communication options.
FB is in deep trouble. They have to preserve an absolutely insane valuation, and their efforts to do so are driving away its users. They are desperate -- pulling ideas out of the air like a "Facebook Phone" and a search engine. None of those things are core to their business model. They swore up and down they had the ability to monetize the site and the reality is becoming clearer every day: They have no idea how to do so.
They are already MySpace, but the only people who don't seem to know it yet are the shareholders.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/515dd5836bb3f7333200004bthechudsThu, 04 Apr 2013 15:33:23 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/515dd5836bb3f7333200004b
A quick word of advice to everyone on this comment thread:
Chrome or Firefox + AdBlockPlus (extension) = this is a moot discussion.
about 80% of all the web banners, preload screens, even marketing videos (even on youtube)... simply cease to exist.
It will make your internet life a lot more tolerable, and make you less likely to be a flaming comment troll on BI and elsewhere.
(ps; Nick, keep up the good work. You're one of a select few contributors on this site worth reading).
Peace,

Stopped using Facebook since 2011. Never looked back.
Try it.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/515dd136eab8ea117200000eTruthsayerThu, 04 Apr 2013 15:15:02 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/515dd136eab8ea117200000e
I remember watching a show on "Biosphere II," that self-contained world in Arizona, and the chief scientist was saying how one species being introduced from the outside world that did not belong there, could unravel the whole place in a few months. Facebook is the same. One of these times, they are going to mess with the secret sauce and it is going to poison the well, and make their canopy collapse. (How's that for metaphor mania!)
It would take a while for a billion-user community to unravel, but they must know it can absolutely happen.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/515dcfbf69bedd321c000003Mr ThriftyThu, 04 Apr 2013 15:08:47 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/515dcfbf69bedd321c000003
People in glass houses...
So far, the ad content on FB is not half as annoying as Business Insider:
Business Insider:
First you get the big movie you have to cancel to get to in.
Then you have to wait for all the flash content to load and the "movie" advert starts playing on the right hand side or maybe the one at the top too.
Sometimes the flash (getting stuck?) slows my computer down. I can hear the processor fan spin up like a frickin' jet engine.
Sometimes, if you switch pages too fast, there is so much flash trying to load at once that the browser asks if I want to kill the "unresponsive script".
Yep...WAY more annoying than FB....http://www.businessinsider.com/c/515dcf8c6bb3f76529000004Doug BishopThu, 04 Apr 2013 15:07:56 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/515dcf8c6bb3f76529000004
The problem here is users thinking that they can get a wonderful internet property for free without seeing ads. Startups burn through their capital ad free to hook users in, but then the reaper must come one day.
People must start to either accept advertising, or pay for the services they love online. Either way, money must transfer to support these businesses.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/515dcf38ecad044133000001imdumbThu, 04 Apr 2013 15:06:32 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/515dcf38ecad044133000001

You beat me to it thank you. Nicholas is exactly whats wrong with this country. Please I don' t like your ads it bothers my free experience.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/515dca7fecad044f2600000abizzleThu, 04 Apr 2013 14:46:23 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/515dca7fecad044f2600000a
I love this. You complain about a free service. America at its finest. Stop using it then.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/515dca4beab8eacd6400000cLuke HopkinsThu, 04 Apr 2013 14:45:31 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/515dca4beab8eacd6400000c
If Facebook released an ad free paid service, would you honestly pay? Facebook has been providing a FREE service to hundreds of millions of users for a while now. Servers don't pay for themselves. If the ads bother you that much, stop using Facebookhttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/515dc7d0eab8ea895c00000akwsompimpongThu, 04 Apr 2013 14:34:56 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/515dc7d0eab8ea895c00000a
You're spot on. I spend almost no time looking at my news line. I simply use my Buffer app to post content to my page.
